Plastic Surgery Clinic in Colmar, PA

Plastic surgery is used to alter certain areas of the body to enhance its appearance or treat medical conditions. If you are interested in a plastic surgery procedure, the first step is to schedule a consultation session with a skilled professional.

During this appointment, the surgeon will discuss your goals, evaluate the area you wish to enhance or treat, and explain the possible treatment options and outcomes. In addition, the specialist will assess your current health, review your medical history, and take photographs to use in planning the surgery and tracking post-procedure results.

After your consultation, if you decide to proceed with the treatment, you will be provided with instructions on how to prepare. This may include smoking cessation as well as arranging assistance and time off for recovery. Your plastic surgery will likely be performed while you are under anesthesia or sedation, depending on the complexity of the procedure.

Following the treatment, you’ll enter a recovery phase where you’ll receive care instructions from your surgeon, such as how to manage discomfort, care for the surgical site, and when it’s okay to resume normal activities. During your recovery, regular follow-up appointments are important so the surgeon can monitor your progress and prevent potential complications.

Plastic surgery can be categorized as cosmetic or reconstructive. Cosmetic procedures are elective, meaning they are not deemed medically necessary. This type of plastic surgery is focused on refining a person’s appearance to align their desired image with their aesthetic goals. Common examples of cosmetic plastic surgeries include facelifts, liposuction, and breast augmentations.

In contrast, reconstructive plastic surgery focuses on correcting abnormalities caused by congenital defects, trauma, infections, tumors, or diseases. This type of plastic surgery is performed to restore functionality and achieve a more typical appearance. For example, breast reconstruction after mastectomy and cleft lip and palate surgery are considered reconstructive procedures.

When it comes to plastic surgery, it’s crucial to understand that, just like any other medical procedure, there are risks involved. Plastic surgery is considered safe when performed by a board-certified surgeon. It’s important to choose a surgeon who is both qualified and experienced to ensure your treatment is safe and delivers high-quality results.

Your health will be thoroughly evaluated before your treatment to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the selected procedure. This pre-surgical assessment helps to mitigate any potential risks by ensuring you’re physically and mentally prepared for the procedure. If you have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, you are at a higher risk of developing complications, such as blood clots, and may not be a suitable candidate for plastic surgery. In addition, smoking also increases risks as it can interfere with the healing process.

Your plastic surgeon will outline the potential risks and benefits of the procedure to ensure you can make a well-informed decision about your treatment. To minimize the risk of complications, it’s important to strictly adhere to the post-procedure instructions outlined by the doctor.
